...this setting, the Middle South record begins to look brighter. The 4.5 per cent black employment figure is only slightly lower than the national utility average-even though that average is the nation's worst. Unfortunately, there are other considerations. One is the regional distribution of black workers. While the national average for black utility workers is 4.8 per cent, the figure climbs to 7.5 or 8 per cent in the South, with its heavily black population. With that as a comparison figure, Middle South's record looks suddenly worse. There is another statistical problem as well. As much...

So the NASA men assumed the visible light from distant galaxies is intrinsically brighter than previously believed; therefore those galaxies must be farther away. "We thought we were looking at a dim light bulb close to us," a NASA scientist explained. "But now that we know that the bulb is brighter, we figure it must be more distant...

Pathet Lao troops shot up a U.S. training camp two miles from the Nam Ngum Dam site in Laos, creating apprehension among Japanese engineers and foremen.
